tools such as ClearPass Policy Manger and Airwave Network Management.

Solution Design

The equipment deployed was latest in the industry and known for its performance in CCTV solutions.
Our product was multipurpose and supported cross platform that can run any device with POE capability.
POE functionality was an integral part of the solution. The Edge switches were connected to devices
and uplinked to the redundant core switches where the ware directed to CCTV servers and recorders for video processing.

The deployment of the project proved to be quite challenging. This was mainly due to on-going infrastructure
improvements and lack of basic facilities like electric wiring. However, the solution was deployed on
time and on budget with all the required configurations & mandatories in place.
